A few more points about this proposal: > http://www.ihmc.us/users/phayes/RDFPlainLIteral.html 1. It is a stand-alone proposal, not just an OWL2/RIF appendage, so to speak, and might be quite widely useful. 2. It is a genuine datatype, just as in the current draft, and could be used in that way by some applications, without adopting the proposed convention (the syntactic restriction is part of the convention, not part of the datatype.) 3. While formally the extra semantics is just a kind of D-entailment, because it impacts plain literals and SPARQL so centrally, and because it is so singular, I think that giving it a special name in this way means it is much more likely to be adopted, because it de-mystifies it. Full D-entailment is a huge tar-pit, but this convention is really easy. Pat
